Morning Ya'll. Today I am posting on the Markerpop Blog for 3D thursday. I made a simple box using an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper. I just scored it at 3 1/5 inches on all sides. Cut 4 areas to create flaps and folded it up.

I loved last months release over at MFT so of course I had to get bunches of them. I used Farmer Girl PI stamp. The Farm fence is also from the release. I then stamped it with the Western Backgrounds for the wood grain look. Markerpop has a huge selection of My Favorite Things items as well! A new release is being rolled out this week and I can already see that I need to save up some money! ;-)

The paper is from an old CTMH line.

The coloring was done with copic markers, pastel pencils and prisma pencils. The boots where paper pieced . The texture on the jeans was creating using copic markers.

I filled the box up with some veggie seed packets. One day I will have a garden. I haven't quite figured out how to in Florida though. I know it can be done....I just dont know how! Planting is different then up north.

I had some burlap that I wanted for the stuffing but I can't find it...I looked everywhere and I have to say I was a little annoyed. So I was stuck with Cheesecloth..lol Whatever...it works!

Wednesday, June 5, 2013

Morning! This week is the last week of school for my kiddos. They are so excited and I am SO JEALOUS! Ahh, to be young again and have 2 1/2 months off....no work...nothing to do. Alas, I will be lucky to have a week off this summer. ;-(

My babies will be leaving me part of the summer to hang out with their grandparents in North Carolina Mountains. Again, I am so jealous!! Not to mention I am going to miss them terribly! I'm not sure what I will do without them for that long. I'm already starting to panic. This will be the longest they will be away. 2 years ago they spent 3 weeks away and that was long. This time will be closer to 6. ;-(

Tuesday, June 4, 2013

Good morning! Hope all is well with you this morning. Guess what I got to do a couple times this week??? I got to play for fun. Loved it! I am in love with the Doodle Garden girls from My favorite Things. The artist that draws them is named Jennifer Nilsson, you can find her on Facebook and she also has and Etsy shop where you can purchase colored prints and Digi stamps! When I saw this little sailor boy, I just loved him!!! I love his bellbottom pants.

As usual it's all colored with Copic markers. Not much else going on this card. I printed it rather large, so I kept the card clean and simple.
